Assignment Instructions

This week you are asked to write a critical, analytic essay of between 7-9 pages covering the following questions. Use at least 5 scholarly peer-reviewed sources (from your required and supplementary readings as well as independent research and primary government sources). Please cite all sources perfectly in APA style.

What are the arguments in favor of the public sector production of goods and services? Why is it that the private sector may not be best suited to providing them even though it might be able to do so more efficiently? Support and deepen your argument by choosing a proposed or existing policy area involving a clear public good/service in your local or state government. How do the major concepts we have discussed so far in this course apply? Who are the stakeholders and are they being equitably and/or efficiently served? Briefly review the development and implementation of the issue and evaluate how far it responds to the twin issues of efficiency and equity. Are they anywhere near an optimal balance? Is the policy effective and is it meeting (or could it meet) stated goals? Could reallocation of resources promote a more efficient and equitable balance? Conclude with brief recommendations for improving or modifying the policy in the areas of efficiency and equity. Multimedia tools are encouraged.

The criteria for evaluating this issue analysis is based on the Graduate Assignment Rubric, which can be found in the iRubric icon.

Find a publicly-traded company using a financial information website. Some example companies include the following:

  • Safeway Inc.
  • The Boeing Company
  • General Motors Company
  • Intel Corporation
  • Microsoft Corporation
  • Exxon Mobil Corporation

Watch the Industry Averages and Financial Ratios video and use the industry classification from the financial services website to locate the company’s SIC code on the U.S. Department of Labor’s website.

Find the industry ratios for the company using the Dun & Bradstreet® Key Business Ratios.

Locate the Dunn & Bradstreet Database by accessing the University of Phoenix Library and then locating Library Resources. Click on Alphabetical List of Resources and find Dunn and Bradstreet. Click on the link and search for your selected company.

If your company’s SIC code does not appear in the dropdown menu, choose another company.

Assume the inventory ratio is based on a traditional inventory system, but globalized markets and the supply chain make it critical to adopt lean principles to create a more efficient system.

Calculate the 14 ratios (show your calculations) for the company using the two most recent annual financial statements found on the financial information website you used earlier. Be careful not to use quarterly information, and include ratios for both years.

Note. You can access a downloadable Ratio Guide PDF by clicking the Help Guide link in the upper-right of the Dun & Bradstreet® Key Business Ratios window.

Compare the ratios for the company you selected with the appropriate industry ratios including profitability, solvency, and efficiency ratios shown on the Dun & Bradstreet® report.

Write a 350-word response about how the company you selected performed compared with the industry.
